Well, given that there is one more loop, and that this episode ended about 10-15 minutes before that allotted time, it's fairly easy to guess that there will be only one more Endless Eight episode.
Of course, it will be titled 'Endless Eight' again, with the katakana arrayed in some random fashion when the episode title is displayed.

So, how'd it end? I'm not lucky enough to see a raw and I heard it's depressing.

Spoiler for Endless Eight - Attempt #15498:

Haruhi: Never mind. We've done enough this summer. We've been to all sorts of places, worn yukata, and caught a good share of cicadas.
Kyon: ...

Haruhi: As for today, it ends now. Leave tomorrow free; it doesn't matter if you want to stay at home and rest. Let us meet in the clubroom in two days.
Kyon: ...

We couldn't let Haruhi go home like this. There had to be a conclusion for once. If not, then the two week span discovered by Koizumi and guaranteed by Nagato would get to its fifteen thousand four hundred and ninety-ninth round.

But, what to do?

Haruhi's form receded from me in slow motion.

This garbled feeling of "where have I seen this?" returned. This wave today came with spells of dizziness that were of an unimaginable magnitude compared to the last few times. It was a sense of déjà vu unlike any other. I knew what this was because I had lived through it thousands of times. August the thirtieth. One day left.

I haven't watched the episode to know about execution, but from reading through here and clicking every spoiler tag (already read the novel anyway) I think I'm happy they're handling it the way they are. It's not something I would have wanted, asked for, or predicted beforehand, but now knowing that they decided to go through with it, I love the pure idea.

I think I see the rationale for a three-parter(or more) with regards to this story. These days, we see lots of two-parter-story arcs in anime. And since the goal of the show was to make it ''Endless", the producers will certainly endeavour to make us, the audience who are so used to two-parters feel the same. If a certain number of episodes are enough to make us feel the uneasiness(and boredom, for Nagato) that Kyon and the rest feels, it will definitely be enough for their aims. The problem is figuring out that number, and my answer is 3.
